Could be a good pamphlet? ... leaflet?... Blog Post?.... ahh well! I switched my dear mad mother to Ubuntu, and she's been using it since Edgy.
So I've just given her a call to ask her what she'd like to see in a book. Some answers: - How to find help.. I'd like to be able to send an email to someone to ask for help, and someone answer with a suggestion as to where I might find the answer. (maybe explaining the concept of mailing lists) - Simple terms explained/.. copy, pate, drag.. - Why do these windows all appear when I plug in my TomTom/Nokia? Mum is a new-ish computer user (even though she can't copy and paste, she can still use Synaptic... go figure!) and all books/guides/magazines etc are aimed at new users assume the user has just popped down to PC World - so all of the content (terms, screenshots etc) are all demo'd with Windows. Interesting about the devices coming up, and I can see for a new user how confusing it could be if a TomTom is plugged in and it comes up with a window full of random files saying "T1UKEURO" or something... (I've been looking for a little GNOME app to tinker with, a TomTom updater could be cool) On Mon, 2008-07-21 at 16:54 +0100, Alan Pope wrote: > On Mon, Jul 21, 2008 at 04:44:18PM +0100, James Hooker wrote: > > Something most Windows users ask me when trying Ubuntu: "Where's C:\!?" > > > > That will be a very short book. > > > -- > ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk > https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
